Yeah, the one at Bingo is skimpy looking. I was thinking
something more classical and sturdy looking.

On the application- ask kids what will they do for the SB
community? Will they participate? Do they have school spirit?
Give them some room to write freely on how much they care. Will
they be active alums? Visit their alma mater? Give preference
to right answers.

Another idea i came up with a few years ago- a flag. I actually
tried to make a huge one- and buy a stand, have it at tailgates,
wave it around when we score. Something so easy, we have the
trackwork there, let's take advantage of it.
Think about it- scarlet, white, and gray. This is about
building identity. Like when Hofstra had the dutch flag, it was
on helmets, stickers, fridge magnets, heck it was right in the
middle of the field at Shuart.
Here's the Peruvian flag (of course, put in some gray):

I like that we did the classic interlocking SB logo. Lets now
have an alternate "logo"- btw i do love the profile Seawolf,
that should still be around as well, as the tertiary color (dark
blue). This is about building an identity. Am i making any
sense???

I would like to see us promote some of the great medical and
scientific research that is being done on campus. Get it in the
Newsday and the NY Times and get the word the word out there.

Yes- play to the strengths.
Here's another- we have a NYC campus. Leverage it. NYU,
Cornell have hospitals in NYC. Maybe we cant just compete that
easily, but why not add some of the teaching hospital to the NYC
campus? We have it, lets use it.
Also, lets expand the NYC campus. More classes (heck, lots of
kids are a subway ride away). This can then promote
internships, where kids can go to school and work in the big
city part of the day. Kids with internships get jobs later on,
its a fact. Then they make zillions, and dump it back into SB.
I think we are silly if we dont have a presence in NYC, and let
others come in and do so. Not only are we nearby, but most of
our alums are within a daily commute's distance. In fact, many
alums either live/work there, or both. Its one of the world's
greatest cities, and St John's and Pace managed a campus there,
we need to build out ours.

Thats a great idea.. Garden 1st choice but if not posible then I
would love at the Barclay's too.
Even better if can play another NYC team.. like Manhattan or
Iona or Hofstra or St. Johns or Fordham etc.

We really have to selll ourselves better in the media capital
of the planet. Expand our campus in Manhattan, promote our
academics, our association with Brookhaven Labs and Cold Spring
Harbor labs. I mean Watson and Crick did their thing for DNA at
Cold Spring Harbor. I had a bio prof who was graduate student
their when they became famous she said it was like finding the
Holy Grail. I get frustrated sometimes when it seems we take a
layed back approach 50 miles East of Manhattan
